And if de-evolution is proceeding, then ‘H’, as that breathy sound that first creature made walking on land.

Then eventually UG… return to caveman

Even with the silent ‘h’ it’s still an o-face sound.

They’re cute and squishy at that age. But wait until they grow up and take over large sections of desert on Tatooine. “Whatcha doing step sarlacc??” 💀💯

Thank you. You are more real than Merriam-Webster’s bitches – English language experts who recently approved “skibidi” to the dictionary.

Btw, I have a 2024 Motorola with Android 15. Everything can be found under “Settings” (com.android.settings). And turning things off…

Some switches may appear more fancy-looking, or that may be a Motorola-only thing.

Developer Options…
Animator Duration Scale = 1.5x (larger = slower)
Windows animation scale = 1.5x
Transition animation scale = 1.5x
Predictive Back animations = off

Settings\Gestures…
I turned off most features.

Settings\Display,…
Refresh Rate 60hz only
Swipe-to-Split = off
3 finger swipe to screenshot = off

Settings\Accessibility…
I turned off the Accessibility Menu, live Captions, and anything else that added shortcuts to the volume and power buttons.

Settings\System\Performance…
Smart App Launch = off
I think this is a “single tap & hold anywhere for fancy action”, I’ve no clue. When it’s on it shows a permanent button on the screen.

Also I have a Settings\Home and Lock Screen Settings, but I’m certain 50% of the things in there are related to my phone’s native Motorola Moto Launcher. I’m using Nova Launcher, so uncertain if things there are in-effect or not as I cannot force stop the native launcher spp; it just restarts, even though I’m not using it.

I may or may not have a solution. But in my experience, between Android 13 and 15, the 3-button navigation bar became more “smart” and\or more complicated. 15 introduced Predictive Back which is on by default. 15 can add more static buttons onto the bar (Accessibility shortcuts, Keyboards). In 15 now my web browsers (Vivaldi and Firefox Beta) does not recognize “holding down back button” to show a recently visited webpage list. I am using Nova launcher on both 13 and 15 and I’m not necessarily getting 3-button navigation bar lag, but I am noticing windows animation intricities on 15, which Ive kinda fixed by slowing animations in the Developer Options.

The more 15 options I can turn off and make the 3-button Navigation Bar act “less smart” the more responsive it acts.

Does the flashlight led have multiple brightness levels?

How many of them did not look up and notice the dirty chandelier?

A fitting analogy to US\China manufacturing interoperations would be one waving-off flies in a cow pasture only for other flies to take their place. And moan about while making no improvements to the farm.

Generation X cpus like the AMD Athlon will happily overclock, compress a video, look-up knee care tips, and listen to Black Sabbath in the background… just as long as you’re keepin’ it cool, like totally cool, man. Ice ice baby.

The popular explanation was it was purgatory. And the finale church scene was their “made it to heaven”. But, yeah, I remember them saying “nothing’s set in stone”. That’s JJ Abram thing – storyline optional.

That’s just the smoke monster from Lost. It’s just trying to live a normal life outside of Hollywood. It’s only nefarious if you were nefarious in another life… or whatever the plot was on Lost.

I want to see a future movie were rival EV off-road truck enthusiasts show off tricks for territorial Level 4 EV charging rights. One guy stuck in mud, in a Rivian truck, does 360’ tank turn spins and bunny hops to victory. Rich old investors on the sidelines (a Elon Musk cameo maybe) who visibly lost bets are upset yelling, “who was that, why didn’t we have that!?”

All the while muddy teenagers are dancing to a revival of “California Love” sung by a giant 3D holograph Tupac Shakur comprised of acrobatic glowing drones in an amber polluted-colored night sky.

My dad’s 1978 house fell-through when he tried to use this weatherization\effeciency\free repair program back in 2005. The local overseer company could only “gift” one single family house per month. The applicant list was +5,000 homes long. Funds were exhausted in less than 1 year… so that’s like 11 or 12 homes that got what they needed.

Everyone else got: weather stripping, faucet areators, 2 smoke alarms, window repair glue, 5 (max) compact florescent bulbs, 1 “air filter” for your ac\furnace (it was garbage fishing troller net precut filter floss), an attic inspection, a house pressure air leak test, and one tree removal referral (never happened).

The team that came to the house was professional though. Protective gear, professional testing equipment, They mentioned half received minimum wage, half volunteers.

In the end, the bad roof and single-pane windows remained.
